Vixen drop links

[Jerry-nsnl3]

Has anyone on here changed their ARB drop links for the rod end type available, as an alternative to the original style please?

Rose joint is probably a better description, sorry.

Yes, I switched to rose jointed drop links as part of a process of stiffening up the whole chassis & steering. Can't say whether it made a major difference on it's own but it should help reduce overall play in the system.

The rubber bush standard items are not a great design.

That seems like a decent enough endorsement, thank you. Have just ordered it now.

The double rose joints dont fit properly on Vixens as theyre made for Triumphs and M's.

A@ may be worth an ask for a single rose joint kit

I have already purchased them although due to arrive early next week. They are double rose jointed but advertised as suiting the Vixen and only needing an angle modification that he can supply if fitting to the M chassis. I’ll scrutinise the instructions when they arrive and see where we are with it.

He’s got photos of the M fitment and I presume it works. When you get them just bear in mind the huge force acting up and down on the horizontal ‘arrangement’ extending from the wishbone cleat, which in his version is made up of various spacers and stuff. Just doesn’t cut it IMHO.
